Greenwood has made just one sizeable appearance for the Red Devils so far this term, which saw him play 34 minutes in the home defeat to Crystal Palace, but he’ll be given another opportunity to demonstrate his ability against Astana, Europe’s 49th ranked side, who will be travelling 3,700 miles from Khazakstan to Old Trafford for the first round of European fixtures.
Solskjaer has already handed a number of youth talents chances since he became United boss, most famously naming James Garner, Tahith Chong, Angel Gomes and Mason Greenwood on the bench to face Paris Saint-Germain last season, albeit due to circumstance.
The Norwegian has also included Midfielder Charlie Wellens, 16, in the first-team setup ahead of Thursday night’s clash.
